The great thing about it is that Poirot speaks the French(i. e. Belgian) English, so they love correcting his word order and pronunciation. This is a classical ws to check understandi...

Past Simple - practical revision
This is a very simple ppt to revise the past simple tense. I used it with my kids and adults, and it was fun because we played it as games(each slide was one game) in 2 teams, and only made notes afterwards. I even used some exercises in a test later on.
